This blade is a Post WW-2 Bolo, Espada pattern, I have one simular my mother-in-law gave me as wedding present. Your hilt is brass cast, and you leather sheath is most likely Carabo hide leather. It shows some usage which is alway good.
If anybody wants I can post a link for PDF magazine- special edition on Filipino Weapons A-Z so you have it for refference.
